Are you sure it is a vector? Your indexing suggest data frame or matrix.

maybe

boxplot(list(SampA, SampB, SampC, SampV))

but there are more effective ways if you had other data structure

e.g.

4 column data frame

boxplot(data.frame(rnorm(10), rnorm(10), rnorm(10), rnorm(10)))

or list

boxplot(list(rnorm(10), rnorm(10), rnorm(10), rnorm(10)))
or even a vector of indices for different groups

boxplot(split(rnorm(40), rep(letters[1:4],10))
